Crochet Christmas ornaments – handmade snowflakes and icicles

I crochet snowflakes, icicles and other Christmas decorations from fine white thread, then stiffen them so they keep their shape for many seasons. Each one has a hanging loop and is ready to hang on the tree, in a window or on branches in a vase. A single snowflake also makes a lovely gift tag.

What are crochet snowflakes?

Crochet snowflakes are openwork ornaments crocheted from fine thread, round by round, then stiffened so the points hold their shape. At Molaczka they're white, with star-like points resembling snowflakes, and a hanging loop. Stored well, they'll last for many Christmases.

How to choose handmade Christmas ornaments

When choosing crochet ornaments, it's worth deciding whether they should form a coordinated theme or serve as an accent. Several snowflakes hung together look like falling snow, while a set of snowflakes and icicles gives you two complementary shapes. White ornaments suit a green tree, branches in a vase and windows alike.

Safety and storage

The ornaments are decorations, not toys, and should be kept out of the reach of small children and pets. Don't hang them near open flames, candles or hot light sources. After the holidays, store them flat in a box or between sheets of paper, protected from moisture. Remove dust with a soft brush.

Frequently asked questions

How should I store crochet ornaments after Christmas?

Crochet snowflakes and icicles are best stored flat, in a box or between sheets of paper, so the points don't bend. Protect them from moisture, as they are stiffened. Remove dust gently with a soft brush.

Can crochet ornaments be hung near candles?

No. Thread ornaments should be hung away from open flames, candles and hot light sources because, like any textile product, they can catch fire. They work beautifully on a tree, in a window or on branches in a vase, as long as there's no flame nearby.

Does a crochet snowflake make a good gift?

Yes. A single snowflake with a hanging loop can be attached to a parcel instead of a gift tag, while a set of three snowflakes or the snowflakes-and-icicles set makes an elegant Christmas gift in its own right.
